No the CCP isn't real, it's West Taiwan.

The formal name for so called Taiwan is The Republic of China, you doorknob. Interestingly, they do claim territory far beyond the borders of the current PRC borders.

I just like "West Taiwan" because it always pisses off tankies. Thanks for playing lol.

OH! And you're now blinking manually.

Does "bad faith" mean "funny?" Get mad tankies.

Unless you're referring to "blinking manually," but that was a direct response to their uname.

I may be a naive optimist, but I think you know what I mean

[โ€“] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, no not really. Saying "West Taiwan" to piss off tankies isn't "a bad faith argument," it isn't even an argument. It's a joke, a jab, a jape.

So, y'know, no. I don't have any idea what you're referring to as a bad faith argument, considering no "argument" was given regardless of faith.

Good glad we cleared that up for you.
